Beneath the Skin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Another day she sets foot in this prison,
dreading what [F]they'll say.
[Am]So much to give,[F] but no[C]
[Am]one ever l[F]istens.
[Am]She dreams of running [Em]away.[C]
[Am]Crippled by the way they make her feel,
she takes a look at her wrists & turns to the [F]blade.[Am]
It's not a cry for [F]at [Am]tention if she [F]just wants
[Am]to feel anything other than [F]the pain.[C]
[Am]Everyone deserves to be loved, but they
make her [F]hate everything she was sure [C]of!
[Am]Every day feels like her against the world.
Now [F]she's afraid [Dm]she'll
[C]never be enough.
[Am]No

[Verse 2]
one knows all the weight [C]that
she holds when she feels [F]alone.
The memor[Dm]ies, they haunt her[Am].
No one sees all the pain [C]she
brings everywhere she goes.
She [Am]feels they'll [Dm]never want
her[Am].

[Verse 3]
She dreams of a day [Am]when she won't
have to cry herself to sleep.
Staring at the scars on her wrists she knows
this is not who she wants to be.
Another night all alone with her thoughts,
dwelling on the questions that race through [Em]her head.
[Am]Scared to sleep, scare[C]d to wake [Am]up & face the day
when she can't forget the things that they [Dm]said.
[Am]No one knows all the weight th[C]at she holds

[Verse 4]
when she feels [F]alone.
The memor[Dm]ies, they haunt her.
[Am]No one sees all the pain s[C]he
brings everywhere she goes.
She [Am]feels they'll [Dm]never want her[Am].

[Verse 5]
All [Am]she [C]wants is someone t[F]o no
[C]tice; so [Dm]sick of feeling invisible.
[Am]All she [F]need[C]s is someone to care.
[F]If only [Am]they could [Dm]see
that she's incred[F]ible.
[Am]She dreams of a day when she won't
[F]have to [Am]cry herself to sleep.
[F]Is our generation too blind to see true
[F]beauty lies beneath [F]the skin?
[Am]So i[F]g no[Dm]rant![Am][Em][C][Am][F][Dm][F]
[Am][Dm][Am][F][Am][Em][Dm][Am][F][Dm]
[Am]Are they too cold,
too numb to see the lifelong effects of the [F]pain [Dm]they in[Am]flict?[G]
[Am]Is our generation too blind to see true beauty
lies be[F]neath [C]the skin?[Am][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]No one knows all[Em] the weight that she holds
when she feels [F]alone.[Dm][Bb]
[Am]No one sees [F]all the pain [C]she [Em]brings
every[Am]where [F]she goes.[Dm]
[Am]No one knows all the weight th[C]at
she holds when she feels [F]alone.
The memor[Dm]ies, they haunt her[Am].

[Verse 7]
No one sees all the pain [C]she
brings everywhere she goes.
She [Am]feels they'll [Dm]never want her[F].
[Am]All she [C]wants is someone t[F]o no
[C]tice; so [Dm]sick of feeling invisible.
[Am]All she [F]needs is[C] someone to care.
[F]If only they could see[Dm]
that she's in[F]cred[Bb]ible.
[Am]She dreams of a day when she
won't have to cry herself to sleep.
Star[Am]ing at the scars on her wrists
she knows this is not [Am]who she wants to be.
